“America’s Got Talent” judge Heidi Klum was visibly unhappy on Tuesday night when a contestant called her a “tramp” during a politically incorrect standup comedy set.

Siddiquee, who is the son of Bengali immigrants, kicked off his standup comedy routine by talking about the uncomfortable situations he gets into because of his name.

“I was at JFK airport, and a friend I have not seen in years sees me from across the airport, and he screams my name in the airport,” he said. “Just like, ‘Oh my god, it’s Usama!’ Is there a worse thing you can scream in an airport?”

Siddiquee added that he was on his way to Miami at the time, as he had plans to go clubbing there with friends.

“Club music does kind of suck, but it’s also the most fun music of all time,” said Siddiquee. “Club music is so fun, the DJ can say anything he wants inside the beat as long as he adds a beat drop. It makes it all okay.”

That’s when things started to go off the rails. As he listed things EDM DJs can say mid-set, Siddiquee proceeded to list sexist phrases like “Women shouldn’t vote” and “Get back to the kitchen, girl.”

“When that beat drops, so does feminism,” the comic added.

Things only went downhill from there.

“Some of y’all are skeptical. I’ll prove it right now,” he said as he turned to a frowning Klum. “Heidi, if I called you a ‘tramp,’ you’d be like, ‘How dare you?’ But if I was like, ‘Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp,’ you’d be like, ‘Well, I do get loose on occasion.’”

When the judges got their chance to weigh in, Howie Mandel admitted that Siddiquee may have gone too far.

“I think that you started off fantastic, and I love your energy and I love your commitment,” he said. “I was just sitting beside these two, and I don’t know if they were giving you the right response, or the response that you were expecting.”

Klum, who was still visibly pouting, said that she didn’t enjoy “being called a ‘tramp’” on national television.

“Just you,” joked Mandel. “She’s the only woman who doesn’t want to be called a ‘tramp.’”

“I was laughing, and then for a second I was like, ‘Should I be not laughing? Should I feel guilty that I’m laughing?’” added Sofia Vergara. “You took a very risky theme for this performance.” That’s one way to put it!

Fans will find out if Siddiquee made it to the next round on tonight’s episode of “America’s Got Talent.”
